How is Bachelor’s Tim Robards going after Ninja Warrior injury
The Bachelor’s newlywed Tim Robards took on Ninja Warrior for a second time last night, after failing to make it past the ‘Cones to Cargo Net’ during his first attempt last year.
Last night the 35-year-old chiropractor had an extreme fall and aggravated an existing injury, tearing his lateral hammy in 2 pieces AND THEN HE KEPT GOING and earned himself a spot in the semis.
The former Bachelor shared an Xray of his injury on social media this morning and updated fans on his recovery.
“The white bit in this MRI slice is the hole where it used to connect,” Tim explains in his lengthy Instagram caption.
“When you give 110% you can sometimes come off second best… and it can hurt. I gritted my teeth and kept going… if it weren’t for the support and energy from the crowd, my wife and everyone at home last night I wouldn’t have hit my goal of making the semi’s this year,” the fitness buff continued.
“It may seem a bit silly but for me, at 35 now, I’ve been mental and physical battle with a hole heap of inflammatory related issues which I’ve been working with, to find the lifestyle causes and not giving into.”
“I’ve spent a lot of time this year slowing down and nurturing my body and health, but it’s a delicate balance between regenerating and degenerating… I could have had surgery to reattach this but opted out on going thru that again.. and with just continue to strengthen the other muscles I’m left with… I’ll turn up at the Semi’s…. and do my best with half a leg… but no more injuries!”
